that be would be one of the judges in the case,
and it would be manifestly improper for him to

gentlemen then called on Mr.. johnson
and asked him what he going to
do. He replied that he did not
think that he would do anything; that be had

House. Colonel Shea, of Lexington. Ind, was
captain of the regiment, and was familiar with
the sentiment of the regiment and says that
